Four Egyptian squash players on Thursday passed the third round of the under-17 category of the British Junior Open squash championship, qualifying for the fourth round, MENA reported. Egyptian squash star Mohamed El-Shorbagy earned first place in the Hong Kong Open squash tournament in November 2018 after beating his Egyptian counterpart Ali Farag in the final 3-0. Egypt’s women squash team won the World Championships in China last September. Back in September, the Egyptian team beat England in the final round of the CGG WSF Women’s World Team Squash Championship that took place in China, securing gold. The national squash team of Egypt is considered one of the strongest worldwide, as they have several titles under heir belts, both as a team and as individuals, including the CGG WSF Women’s World Team Squash Championship title in 2017.
